Glad you liked this one Ninny Nan. I just wonder no one ever asked about the father before. If "Invention" had a mother, then, by default, she had a father. And "Necessity" cannot be presumed to be always and only altruistic. I have invented a few things out of laziness. Like tying messages onto the dog's collar and sending her to the kids so I didn't have to go up and down the stairs. It wasn't really a necessity. I was just lazy! Voila! There's the other parent.

About Me

I am a deadbeat blogger who has been absent for almost three years after posting over 300 blog posts. Now, I have the audacity to think anyone is still out there. But if you are, I'll try to start posting again at least once every three years. And I'm committed to that.
